I normally use the #0 guard, but today I took it off and just clipped as close as the blade would allow.
Once in a while, I get my wife or son to clip me, as my barber's semi-retired and only keeps limited hours.

Been with him for fifteen years, and he's been on the same corner for nearly sixty. Opened his shop when he was seventeen, and much of the neighbourhood was farms! He's a good guy and knows everything that's going on, so it's fun to sit down in his shop and chew the fat. If you view the video slideshow above, you'll see his shop is packed with antiques and mementos, and enjoy looking at them and asking him about them.
Nice cut you got, though. Like you, we're both lucky our heads are shaped nicely. A lumpy head is a sad thing when you're a baldy.
What can I say? Chicks love it. You and I have been blessed, Bill, with the virile progressive hairline and hard chiseled good looks. Combined with our martial skills, we're deadly to our enemies and irresistible to women.
